The White Party was a HUGE success!!  The weather was absolutely glorious, and attendance was high :)  We couldn't have asked for a better evening.

The only downside was Stage 5 Clinger.  He showed up quite intoxicated.  He made a fool of himself.  We asked him to leave, and the friends he brought with him tried to call to secure a ride for him.  No luck.  So, eventually they drug him out of the party. 

The most amazing part, to me, was his behavior while he was there.  At first I was embarrassed, but then I realized that I had no reason to be.  This grown man was totally embarrassing himself, and everyone was laughing at him.  Not at me. 

I unfriended him on Facebook.  I have ignored his texts since the party.  If he doesn't get the point, I've prepared the following to send:

J____,

I do not have any desire to get to know you any more than I already do.  You embarrassed yourself at my home on Saturday night due to your drunkenness, and as if that wasn't enough...you approached many of my friends asking them if they had any pot.  Clearly this was inappropriate, and I would appreciate it if you would kindly lose my number.

Best,

T

Needless to say...I did NOT introduce him to my girlfriend!   Well, I did "technically" introduce them, but then I told her to run like the wind.  I wouldn't wish this guy on my worst enemy.

When MK sent this to me, we had someone else in mind.  I do believe it is appropriate to post today in honor of Mr. Stage 5 Clinger:

I hope you all had a lovely Labor Day weekend.  I came up with a new mantra for myself over the holiday.

"I'm trying to do less and enjoy more."

It goes along with my "slowing down" theme :)
